电报局是洋务运动中的重要企业,它的创办对近代社会的发展有重要作用。甲午战争时期,从朝鲜战场到国内战场,中国电报局承担了大量不可或缺的事务,尤其是电报局通过架设随军电报直接参与战斗,为清军提供了诸多有利条件。当然,电报局的作用发挥也受到当时时代社会条件的限制,如清廷财力的匮乏,使得战时电报局的建设颇受影响。此外,战事的不利也使电报局遭受人、财、物三方面的重大损失。 The telegraph office is an important enterprise in the Westernization Movement. Its establishment has played an important role in the development of modern society. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, from the Korean battlefield to the domestic battlefield, the Chinese telegraph bureau undertook a great deal of indispensable affairs. In particular, the telegraph bureau directly participated in the battle by setting up a military telegraph and provided favorable conditions for the Qing army. Of course, the role played by the telegraph bureau was also restricted by the social conditions of the time, such as the scarcity of the financial resources of the Qing government, which affected the construction of the telegraph bureau in the wartime. In addition, the unfavorable warfare also caused the telegraph office to suffer heavy losses in terms of people, money and property.
